Become a New Seed -- Part 2

True Parents' thought, language, and way of life should be at the
center of your own life. God knows that it is not easy for you to
overcome your cultural habits, and He is taking great pains to try to
bring about cultural harmony, unity, and heavenly tradition,
centering on True Parents. He is planning to accomplish this within
three generations.

Your Blessing represents the Old Testament era; your children's
Blessing will represent the New Testament era; and your
grandchildren's Blessing will represent the Completed Testament era.
The third generation will follow heavenly tradition one hundred
percent. The present culture which is influencing the entire world --
American culture as well as communist culture -- will perish. A new,
heavenly culture must emerge; otherwise you Moonies will not be
respected or treated well in the future. I came and suffered here in
America in order to bequeath the unified tradition to the Christian
culture, which is ripe and ready to be harvested after its 2,000-year
history. The new tradition must be planted in this country by
bringing unity among Christian people.

In order to create the tradition of a new culture based on
heavenly love, do you really think I should discuss matters with you?
Adam and Eve, who were destined to become True Parents, had only God
to consult with. The True Parents can only turn to God for advice.

Democracy is based on the ideal of brotherhood, but the ideology
and system of government based on that ideal is not sufficient to
bring unity between east and west, north and south. The original
"ism" is Godism or "parentism" -- not
"brotherism." "Parentism" is the ideal and
ideology of true love, coming down vertically in a heavenly line and
bringing men and women together. Man is like the right hand and woman
is like the left; Adam, representing God's love, unites with Eve. The
sexual organs of man and woman can receive each other, harmonize, and
become united, so that their two bodies can become one. Convex and
concave components fit together as one and are immovable; their union
is fixed and anchored. Love brings two bodies into one; therefore
love should be a vertical movement, like a piston and a cylinder
working up and down. They have to fit, and there is only one place
the piston should fit -- not two.

The Decline of America

There is no piston which ideally can fit everywhere. One piston
and one cylinder must be uniquely harmonized so that the piston,
moving up and down in constant churning motion, can produce energy.
For example, without a perfect fit between piston and cylinder, an
automobile couldn't move. Symbolically speaking, the American culture
today is trying to pull the piston up and forcefully and
indiscriminately fit it into any cylinder anywhere. Everywhere today,
even in the Congress and the White House, the problems of
homosexuality, sodomy, and incest are being discussed. These are
unnatural lusts, which undermine morality and pervert the culture.
They are terrible in the sight of God. From the heavenly point of
view, extreme perversions are choking up American life.

American young people are living in and becoming indoctrinated to
accept this sort of culture. The environment is such muck! How can
young people possibly think in a logical, pure, and healthy way?
There is no unchanging principle, so their thinking and behavior are
very changeable. There is no right or wrong, just the feelings of the
moment. The American way of life is full of jokes and careless humor;
laughing, Americans take their problems very lightly. "Oh, don't
worry, they will go away:' they say. They just don't want to look a
problem in the face. As leaders you must understand that America's
problems will not simply "go away."

Knowing the will of Heaven, you must understand that now, no
matter how hard America tries, it will fall way behind Oriental
countries. The success of Japan today is the heavenly direction.
History is moving from one area of the globe to another. The United
States has enjoyed its golden era, but you are losing your heritage;
so the blessing is quickly moving away. All the power and tax money
of America cannot stop the corruption and moral decay here. You must
become the recipients of Father's tradition. How can you receive me?
You have to be in the lowest position.

At Danbury I got a close look at the convicts: Thirty percent or
more come right back to prison, and the percentage is growing each
year. Even though your society is becoming more and more sinful, you
somehow try to protect it -- by having more lawyers, for example.
This country is a lawyer's heaven; they can create their own cases!
Most of them do not act altruistically, but out of greed. They
prolong their cases and make them more and more involved so that they
can squeeze more money out of their clients.

There are so many more lawyers here in America than there are in
Japan! You Americans cannot easily see the failure of this country,
but the person coming from outside can perceive its decline clearly.

When I created The Washington Times and The World and I magazine,
I met with incredible opposition, stemming from arrogant and
prejudiced attitudes. The American people did not like the fact that
an Oriental was working so strongly in their country; they wanted me
to stay away and not bother them. I had to take on extra suffering
because of such attitudes.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet dissident who came here, was so
totally disappointed in American society that he is now looking to
Japan for permanent residence. After witnessing the incredible
blunders and decline of his native Russia, he does not want to suffer
through a similar failure in this society. He is placing his hopes in
Asia.

Models of Father

When I give the providential mission to Japanese people, they go
straight forward -- like the bamboo; but when I give the mission to
American people, they zigzag and flounder around, going this way and
that. That is why democracy can easily be utilized by Satan, even
more than by God. Compare yourselves with the Japanese and their
tradition. They are different, aren't they? Everything in America is
the opposite of what they know -- food, shelter, language, lifestyle
-- and very inconvenient for them. Their mission here is many times
more difficult than yours, but still they are trying hard to move
ahead. Put yourself in their position: Could you do the same in Japan
or Korea? Also, we created the Unification Theological Seminary here
in America. After ten years, where are the five hundred graduates? If
we had created that school in Japan or Korea, the result would have
been entirely different. The Korean theological seminary will begin
its operation this year.

You may think that as long as the Japanese and Koreans are here in
your country, you should not follow them and they should follow you
instead; but you are wrong. They are not just "Japanese"
and "Koreans"; they are models of Father through which
Father's tradition must be transmitted.

I am speaking to you quite frankly now because I would like to see
you change your attitude and behavior. You are not quite adults in
the heavenly sense. The term "adult" means that you have
fulfilled the responsibility given you by Heaven; when you fulfill
it, God grants you the right to adulthood. When have you completed
your responsibility, centered upon the true love of God? Can you show
me? No one has matured and grown into full adulthood.

Your wedding blessing was conditional; it was a contract with
certain contingencies. You must fulfill the necessary, remaining
conditions. You may think, because you are blessed and have a
leadership position, that all you have to do is listen to my words.
That is not so. When you were blessed you were restored to the
position of Adam and Eve just before they fell; from that point on
you must pass through the seven-year process of completion, or
perfection. During those seven years, only through your hard work and
good deeds can you fully embrace True Parents and unite with heavenly
love, so that God can trust you. Only on that foundation can you
become one with True Parents' ideology and way of life -- their ideal
and truth and love.

Fulfill Your Responsibility

No matter where I go, Satan can never accuse me. If I enter
Satan's cage, his own home ground, he will immediately recognize me
and have no more business there. Even if I hold Satan's hand and
dance around, it is not because I am fallen, subject to be killed and
sent to hell, but because I must save Satan! I am totally free. If I
march into a bar r house of prostitution, Satan can do nothing
because I go there for one righteous purpose only -- the salvation of
humanity. Are you at the same level now? No, because you have not
fulfilled your portion of responsibility.

You have been given the right to be perfected, but to actualize
that right, God requires that you fulfill your human responsibility.
It is because you have not done it that Satan hasn't written you off,
yet; he is still holding you with his hooks. In order to fulfill
man's portion of responsibility, I established Parents' Day,
Children's Day, Day of All Things, and God's Day; these days mark
victories centered on absolute truth which Heaven can recognize.
Beginning at the individual level in Korea, and travelling a very
arduous road, I moved up from the family to the tribal, clan,
national and worldwide levels. Now victory is secured and perfected
on the global level -- so all you have to do is grab onto me! Become
one person with me.

Man's responsibility is to restore true love on the individual,
family, tribal, clan, national, worldwide and cosmic levels.
Therefore, you should follow the person whose own responsibility is
done, like the engine of a locomotive. If you hold on tight and
become one with me, you will go to the same place. You have your own
wheel on the locomotive, but you are running on the same rail. As
long as you run along my rail, you will be all right. Since my own
responsibility is done, I am now trying to teach you as individuals
and families how to restore the God-centered tribe and nation, for
the sake of the world.

Once you are completely rejected in this world, there is no way to
begin again except as a beggar. There is actually a quality of
humility, nobility, and altruism in the actions of a beggar, and when
the big wheels in society really perceive it in you, they will want
you as sons and daughters of their own, despite your status. That is
the way the world should see you Moonies. However, this course is not
easy, especially for Americans. Within a few years, the American
leaders get completely knocked out.

Why did I go to Danbury? Simply to lay the rail, to show the path
of the victorious Adam, so that you can follow. I don't need anything
for myself, but East Garden and all that we have built in America
will stand as part of the correct inheritance to be given to those
who deserve it. That is supposed to be you. Are you really ready to
receive it? From the other side of the hill of Calvary, I am pulling
on a rope, fishing for you still. Don't ever think that you are
fulfilling your leadership roles satisfactorily: You must do more
than Jesus who bore the cross; you must go beyond Calvary.

The Spirit of Danbury

While I suffered in Danbury for 13 months, you Americans should
have done ten times, a hundred times more than before. When I entered
the prison, none of those criminals -- some of whom were murderers --
sympathized with me; but when I left, they were converted in a way.
Nearly everyone bid me farewell, some with tears. While I was there I
analyzed clearly and correctly how the secular American culture is
hurting God's worldwide crusade. I could not really afford to spend
even one minute inside that prison from the dispensational point of
view. Just imagine how pitiful God's situation is!

I opened a door by going victoriously through Danbury. Now we are
facing the final hill, the final battle. In Korea it has taken forty
years to come this far; Japan has a twenty- year history, and America
has a 14-year history in the dispensation. In this next seven years,
the wrestling will be completely over. The United States government
simply will not be able to deny Rev. Moon's contribution. The White
House and the State Department will not be able to deny the validity
and power of the CAUSA ideology, because it contains a clear plan to
save America.

When I pass over that final hill, it will not be easy for all of
you to follow me. Will you walk back down the hill? That is not
Father's way. Go to the top of the hill and take off! Ascend into
heaven. The spirit of Danbury can take us everywhere.

[Father begins to speak in English.]

During this time you represent all the American Moonies. You must
clearly realize your responsibility and duty. You are in the position
of the heavenly archangel, and from that position you must influence
others. Can't you see how serious I am? No one has really helped me.
I've done everything all by myself. You cannot imagine how lonely my
life is. It hasn't been easy, but now I have achieved respect
everywhere. You must protect me. I cannot discuss these serious
matters in detail. True Parents are the only ones in their position
in this world. This was God's plan -- to have only one set of True
Parents, not two -- whereas on the side of the satanic archangel
there are many relative ideas and voices of authority.

For 6,000 years Satan has built up his foundation. An uncountable
number of lives has been lost. All throughout this long, long
history, Satan has continuously accused God, because He could not
control His people. God cannot control Satan, either. This situation
never should have been. Finally the Messiah came on earth. He is only
one man, not two; there is only one man to build the new foundation.
I did it first, and now I must teach you the Father's way.

No one hears me. You may follow behind, but you don't fully
understand the providential purpose. True Parents represent mankind,
and as Unification Church members, you must come to realize who they
are.

I have made the foundation in Korea and Japan, and I have come
back here in order to explain seriously how you can do the same in
America. We are involved in the fight at the Ford of Jabbok, and we
must achieve the title of Israel. These are not just my words; they
are the words of the Principle; this is the providential view. God
knows it clearly, and Satan knows it, also.

You must really consider the American situation, and your own
situation. You say, "We need Father, but we want him to do
things the American way." This is wrong. You have to correct the
situation here; otherwise you cannot survive. There are no excuses,
and I cannot accept any.

The world is rapidly changing. For the Soviets, the biggest
problem is Rev. Moon. Now the Soviets are educating KGB agents to
understand the Principle. They know America's problems, and they know
that you are capable of denying the principled way, even after
following the True Parents for many years. When they come to question
you, will your faith remain strong? Also many professors throughout
the world are studying the Principle and listening to tapes of my
sermons. They remember everything, because they are so impressed. How
about you? How is your faith and position? I know very clearly.

No matter how difficult our situation is, we must undertake this
final quest. You must decide your purpose. Because I have had to work
in America, I have remained here, even after Danbury. But I must go
to Korea soon. You must know my situation during this time clearly.
Two years ago today I entered Danbury. Make up your minds; there will
be no other chance.

Realize Your Purpose

As Americans, what is your purpose? It is to create God's original
ideal world, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. That is America's
purpose, Christianity's purpose -- and the Unification purpose. When
these three groups come to unite and work together, the whole world
can change overnight! In forty years we will easily be able to
educate four billion people through the television networks.
Nowadays, in a split second you can be connected to anyone in any
corner of the globe.

Who prepared this foundation? God did, not man. Why? Because the
Messiah is here. This entire worldwide foundation has been prepared
for this one short time period. And through whom will God complete
this foundation? As Moonies you must realize your purpose and
responsibility. Go to the churches, the schools, and the
policymakers. Stop the American people from chasing God away. We must
make the whole country welcome God, and reject secular humanism and
materialism.

Both God and man seek true love. That is what True Parents bring.
To express such love we must go the way of sacrifice, service, and
education. That is the course of restoration, in which much indemnity
is needed to solve the existing problems. We can stand on God's side
only on the foundation of sacrifice. We all must make our foundation
of indemnity through the three levels of growth, and from the
individual to the world levels. In the past, the tribes of Joseph and
Zechariah, in the position of Cain and Abel respectively, could not
unite; therefore Jesus could not receive the Blessing as the
representative of God. You received the Blessing, but Father made the
foundation. Will you continue to stand only on the condition of
Father's foundation? You need to make your own foundation. I have
been teaching you very clearly the way to go, and that is through
home church.
